You need to install the ‘gettext’ package and re-run autoreconf.

Even easier: grab a tarball from
<http://hydra.nixos.org/job/gnu/guile-2-0/tarball/latest>.

Note that the reason I’m suggesting using the latest 2.0 is to fix file
name problems on MinGW.  So you can take the tarball from the above URL,
and build from there on MinGW.
